The Times of India, Sep 09 2015

Anirban Lahiri will make a historic appearance at the Presidents Cup in Korea after qualifying on merit for the International Team to face the United States next month. Lahiri, the current Asian Tour Order of Merit leader and twice a winner this season, finished seventh on the International Team rankings. “I can't describe the feeling because growing up, you look up to events like the Ryder Cup and feel terrible about it as you can't be a part of something like that. But thankfully , we have the Presidents Cup for us to aim for and it is an achievement to make the team,“ said Lahiri, who is currently ranked 40th in the world. “I know Jeev (Milkha Singh) was really close to getting in one year when he was in the world's top-50 and unfortunately, he couldn't due to injury. It would have done a lot of good for golf, not just in India but in Asia.
